Hello, Shumi

.

I’m Chen Xinyan, founder of the book list

.

In the twinkling of an eye, 2020 is less than a month away

.

If I can sum up, my biggest change this year is that I started running in March

.

In the past, I would gasp when I climb stairs, but now I can easily run more than ten kilometers

.

In the eyes of many professional runners, this achievement belongs to the primary level, but for myself, it is a big leap in my life

.

Why is there such a big change? This is the book I want to share with you today, the power of running

.

This book is not only about running, but also about how a middle-aged decadent man turns into Altman

.

It tells the story of how the Jedi fight back when they are in a desperate situation

.

When lazy cancer attack, I recommend you to turn over this book, it will make you wake up late at night, unable to sleep at night

.

Desperate middle-aged, let’s take a look at this picture first: handsome? This guy is the author of this book

.

His name is riceroll

.

In 2009, he was selected as “one of the 25 fittest men in the world” by men’s fitness magazine of the United States

.

But it all happened after he was 40 years old

.

Can you think of it? Before that, he weighed 190 Jin, and his belly was bigger than mine

.

In our words, he was a middle-aged greasy and fat house

.

But just such a man, at the age of 44, created a miracle

.

In less than a week, he and one of his friends completed five super triathlons on five islands of Hawaii

.

A triathlon consists of swimming 3.8km, riding 180km, and finally running a marathon – 42km

.

We normal people, can complete any of them, even if it is very amazing

.

Sports ability is super, will challenge these three together

.

But ricerol is more powerful

.

He completed five triathlons in a week

.

It’s not about increasing the intensity by five times, but whether you can survive at such a high intensity

.

What’s the chance for ricerol to suddenly wake up in middle age? This matter also starts from the eve of his 40th birthday

.

The author has a very detailed description of it

.

At about two o’clock in the morning, after watching a full three hours of soap operas and eating thousands of calories, I felt like I was getting sodium poisoning, so I decided to end my entertainment tonight

.

I turned off the light and dragged my 94 kg body upstairs

.

Halfway up, I had to take a rest

.

My legs became very heavy and my breathing was very hard

.

My face is red and hot

.

I have to lean down to breathe smoothly

.

My belly is stacked on the waist of my jeans After counting back, I climbed eight steps

.

I’m only 39 years old, and eight steps make it hard for me to breathe

.

Oh, my God, have I become like this? ” After climbing the steps, he went into the bedrooms of the little girls and watched them sleep

.

He not only imagined that his daughter would get married when she grew up: she was radiant, smiling, surrounded by proud elder brother and gentle and elegant mother

.

But when I came back, I realized something was missing – I wasn’t there! I may be dead! A tingling sensation quickly spread from my neck along my spine and turned into panic At that moment, he clearly realized that he might not live to see his daughter get married

.

He took a deep breath, moved to the bathroom with difficulty, saw himself in the mirror, and then froze

.

In the mirror is a fat, out of shape, very unhealthy person

.

And this is far from what he used to be

.

As a child, ricerol was a good swimmer

.

When he was 6 years old, he joined the swimming team

.

When he was 8 years old, he began to win prizes

.

When he was in middle school, he began to take part in national competitions

.

This specialty made him very popular when he applied for University, including Stanford, Harvard and other eight very well-known universities in the United States

.

Finally, he chose to go to Stanford University

.

You see, this is a typical top student with a bright future, right? But people always die

.

When did this man die? A glass of beer! When he was going to apply for University, he took part in a party of university swimming team

.

At that time, a friend handed him a glass of beer

.

Before that, he was not drunk, but he could not refuse this man’s wine

.

Because the person who delivered the wine was an athlete he admired very much, Bruce Kimball, who won the silver medal in the 1984 Olympic Games

.

The wine given by the idol must be drunk

.

If this cup goes on, his life will change forever

.

Why? He found out for the first time that beer used to be so good

.

Since then, it has been out of control, from beer to all kinds of foreign wine

.

I’m addicted to alcohol

.

You know, before going to college, in order to train, ricerol was super self disciplined

.

He worked hard from Monday to Friday, even on weekends

.

But after falling in love with alcohol, he lost interest in his favorite swimming, which he had loved for more than ten years

.

I didn’t take part in training, and I retired from the swimming team

.

Even on the day of graduation, he was so drunk that he took off his shoes when he came on stage

.

He was so angry with his father that he went back without eating with him

.

That is, after that, his parents were very disappointed with him

.

His father didn’t get along with him

.

I don’t like drinking

.

It’s really hard for me to understand the feelings of people who are addicted to alcohol and drink too much, but I just think it’s too bad to see his state

.

After graduation, this guy got a job at random, and then went through a failed marriage

.

The main reason was that he drank too much

.

Later, I had no choice but to go to the rehabilitation center, similar to our drug treatment center

.

It was at that time that he met his present wife, who fundamentally changed him

.

Maybe because of the power of love, he really quit drinking

.

“Although I’m not a model for abstinence, I’m totally different from the drunk one.” More importantly, in the process, he realized that “it means not only love, but also acceptance of love.” Secondly, during the time they lived together, he set up his own independent entertainment legal affairs without any planning – providing legal services for screenwriters, directors and producers in various film and television transactions

.

Later they got married and soon had their first child

.

Everything was going in a good direction

.

But at this time, the middle-aged crisis mentioned earlier appeared

.

The Jedi’s counterattack against ricerol’s middle-aged rebellion began with diet adjustment

.

The first thing he did was to ask his wife for help

.

His wife usually pays great attention to health preservation, so according to his wife’s formula, he lost his usual high calorie food and began to eat vegetarian food

.

After holding on for a week, he felt some effects and planned to hold on like this

.

Then he began to get back to exercise – running, cycling, swimming

.

After all, he has a foundation in sports

.

He recovers faster

.

His waistline begins to get thinner and thinner, and his energy is better than before

.

When these goals begin to be realized, the desire of middle-aged people to participate in sports competition begins to sprout

.

So he began to strengthen his training intensity, starting with running 1-2 times a week in the morning, swimming 1-2 times a week, and cycling again at the weekend

.

Later, it developed to 10 hours, 15 hours, sometimes even 18-20 hours of training per week He participated in the competition, more difficult than one, the results are getting better and better, until finally, in less than a week, completed five triathlons.
